Tobias; I think that I have found the problem: All of the images where I am seeing problems are older non-raw files. They are either jpg or png files. When I study the exif data in the files it appears that an 'other program' (probably digikam) has written a 'Keyword' entry into the image's exif data. darktable is then reading the Keyword and using it as an addition to the Tags. This would be fine except that the Keyword is not editable in dt. As a test I deleted an offending tag in dt on a jpg file, removed the file from the data-base and then re-imported the file. The tag was back again. When I compare the jpg/exif with the jpg.xmp I can see that the Keyword from the jpg/exif is dumped into both the 'subject' as well as into the 'hierarchicalSubject' list of the dt jpg.xmp.
